Presentation & Recording
Y13 External exams at Senior Boys
I have reminded Y13 of exam arrangements and what they need to remember. We do need students to be arriving at least 15 minutes before an exam is due to start - students have been arriving later, not taking any possible traffic delays into consideration, or the fact that they will need to park and walk to the school. Please can you also check that they are wearing appropriate clothing for an exam: no short skirts or hoodies, please.
